If they were taken in the 1960s by someone in their 30s who lived to 80, that means we probably have roughly another 60 years until these are free from copyright and you can actually publish them in a magazine. I'm surprised the magazi

"side loading" in the EU still requires you to have your app reviewed and notarized by apple, which means you can't call private APIs. You also still need to pay $100/year developer fee for your app to continue to be sid

The Garmin experience on iOS is noticeably inferior for me. On android, you can turn off forwarding notifications to the watch on a per-app basis, so for example I can have youtube put notifications into the android notification center, but

The postgres escape function actually worked fine before this "CVE". It was documented as escaping something for use as part of a postgres query. BeyondTrust used it as input to the 'psql' tool, which is an interactive t

Anyone know the system requirements? I got bit by notion when I assumed my recent i7 would be enough for it to keep up with my typing speed, but after a few pages of notes, notion uses 100% of a core and input lags considerably....

I mean, you just write all your scopes as `(func() { })()` in go, and it works out fine. Adding `func() {}()` scopes won't break existing code usually, though if you use 'break' or 'continue' you might have to make

Even with scope-based defer, you can accomplish conditional defers easily enough. In a sane language, where conditions are expressions, you could just do: defer if complex_nested_condition { cleanup() } else { noop() } In Go, you c

I mean, currently they couldn't because EU's laws are too weak too. An EU company that released chrome for iOS would have to pay Apple 0.50€ per side-load in "core technology fees", so if they didn't charge a bit, t

Unfortunately I'm only able to use browsers which run on linux so I can share history between my phone and all other computers. If Orion had a linux version, maybe I'd consider it, but the firefox-skin on webkit lets me share hist

America will continue to cripple EU consumer protection too. The EU ruled that the app store has to allow side-loading in the EU, but y'all still won't get a good browser because both Chrome and Mozilla have said making a side-loa

Sorry, it's just that I have an allergic reaction to what sounds like people trying to make debate-bro arguments. Like, when I say "use signal, it's secure", someone could respond "Ahh, but technically you can'

In a security sensitive context, a parser should return an error on a duplicate key regardless what common parsers do and what the RFC fails to specify. Implicitly, that means no security software dealing with json should be written in Go,

That's even more true with a dedicated work github account than a mixed personal/work one; either way they can still login and edit the account name even if removed from the company org, and if it's not shared it doesn't

You'd expect an app, like Whatsapp or Discord or Signal, which focuses primarily on messaging, to be able to devote more attention to it than apple, which is really just a hardware company that reluctantly makes just enough software to

For me, a larger part than "cost of lock-in" is the "hacker spirit", the curiosity to understand how it works. Sure, I can pay google or fastmail to host a mailserver for me, but that deprives me of the joy of configurin

It shouldn't be a luxury, but it unfortunately is due to various big players refusing to play nice together. If everyone has only apple devices (iphones + macbooks), then you can use a shared iCloud sync'd folder. Except that does
